The only players I hurt with my words are the ones who have an inflated opinion of their ability.
Kick would be a term of endearment, really. It wouldn't be kick with the idea of hurting them, just kind of move them along a little faster. ... Some are happy to be here, you know?
I'm not a bus-station kind of guy, but there are a few players here I'm not sure want to be here. They've got a brook-trout kind of look.
It was a dumb thought process. The players bailed me out.
I'm not satisfied with the position. I don't think we're solid yet.
I'm not overly proud of 9-7. I'm really not. It really wasn't a good performance. It was one of those where you don't have much good to say. I'm just disappointed.
I'm disappointed with the outcome, I'm not disappointed with the effort. I thought we played pretty solid on defense, until that last run.
Not at all. He was just throwing it indiscriminately then.
Contract extension? Well, when it's appropriate, we'll see. I don't want to talk about that either.
After his first year, there were a lot people (doubting him). But he fought them off. He did a pretty good job.
I got two high-strung players, you know? That's it.
I don't do many endorsements. I'd rather get doused by Gatorade than bust my butt selling it.
On offense, we were sloppy a little bit... couldn't take care of the ball, and had some penalties. You don't get to win many of 'em doing those things.
If I'm going to be asked to cook the meal, I'd like to be able to pick the groceries.
